The purpose of this study is to diffuse knowledge about the limited roles women still play in Nigeria, as opposed to the roles they could be playing if they were to be empowered,
especially in terms of local and national security. The research questions examined the different ways in which women in Nigeria are suffering the omnipresence of patriarchal beliefs and the norms they entail, which interviews with a sample of nine Nigerian women have testified for. It further analyzed the possible interdependence between patriarchy and insecurity levels, and how empowering women could help building peace in the region. Three experts on the topic were interviewed, and testified for this correlation between women and security, while also pointing out the need for governmental support in terms of financing and policing this inclusion of women. The paper finally proposes a set of recommendations to the different stakeholders of Nigeria, from the civil society and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to the Government itself, on how to reach empowerment and peacebuilding in a sustainable way. Structured mainly on the social and cultural determinants of women’s roles in Nigeria, the study revealed that such determinants need political and legislative will if they are to improve. There is an urgent need for the Nigerian Government to take responsibility for the insecurity the country is facing and acknowledge how this insecurity is curbing any improvement towards both women empowerment and peacebuilding at the national and regional levels. Some of the recommendations include the promotion of dialogue among stakeholders, the implementation of sport programs to diffuse values of tolerance and empowerment, and the alteration of discourse around women and girls to change the conceptualization of power and therefore the roles they play in the society.
In the contemporary business landscape characterized by global economic uncertainty and rapid technological advancements, companies face increasing complexity in meeting their innovation targets. To address this challenge, established firms are engaging in collaborative partnerships with external entities, particularly startups, to leverage their knowledge and capabilities to gain a competitive advantage. Despite the growing popularity of corporate-startup collaboration (CSC), there remains a noticeable gap in the literature regarding the analysis of the dynamics and key success factors that are relevant to enhancing the collaborative process between these asymmetric entities. This study aims to fill this research space by investigating the dynamics, motives, objectives, and challenges of CSC, with a specific focus on identifying the success factors crucial for achieving favorable outcomes. Drawing upon insights from eight expert managers using a mixed-method approach, the study highlights the significance of addressing internal barriers and prioritizing key success factors to ensure successful outcomes in CSC. The research methodology involves a literature review, a pre-stage questionnaire, and semi-structured interviews to gather comprehensive data. The researchers have synthesized the findings to enhance an existing Co-Canvas model in a way that it is specifically tailored for CSC, thereby offering managers a practical framework to effectively navigate the complexities of CSC. The findings of this research hold implications for scholars, corporate leaders, and entrepreneurs, enabling them to evaluate past collaboration initiatives, identify potential sources of errors, and devise strategies to enhance their collaboration performance. By shedding light on the dynamics and success factors of CSC, this study contributes to the existing body of knowledge and offers valuable insights for strategically enhancing collaboration performance. However, the study refrains from making broad generalizations of the model due to the small sample size of experts.
In the Job Satisfaction- Performance literature largely, job satisfaction is portrayed and
discussed positively as a performance driver for organizations that embark on the journey
of progress. This research asks whether job satisfaction inevitably leads to negative
implementation outcomes and how. This research focuses on factors other than job
satisfaction that can be used to drive better performance of employees and how
satisfaction could also lead to negative outcomes. In an attempt to answer this question,
the research undertakes three key tasks. First, it contextualizes how job satisfaction has
minor affects on performance. Second, it outlines the factors that can increase
performance. Third, it discusses crisply the adverse affects on job satisfaction through
empirical evidence to provide focus and 'evidential grounding' for the research.
Essentially, the research contends that for institutions that are unable to manage and lead
productivity from employees, this research serves a powerful purpose ensuring the multi-dimensional approach to view employee performance and modelled to take account of
the people on whom it may impact as well as the overall value it may deliver.
This thesis examines causes and effects of El Salvador’s transition to official dollarization conducted in 2001. The document analyzes preliminary and final impacts in the real, financial, fiscal, and external sectors of the country, and it also provides an economic and social perspective on how these effects have caused little effect on Salvadoran society. Several authors remark official dollarization might have positive effects on countries with macroeconomic disorders such as high inflation rates and drastic exchange rate variations. After more than 20 years of adoption of the U.S. dollar, official dollarization does not appear to have affected positively life of Salvadoran citizens but rather has prevented governments from using monetary policy to apply irresponsible economic policies and has also helped to prevent high inflation rates. To take advantage of the benefits official dollarization can offer, it is highly recommendable for El Salvador to implement transformative social and economic investments and policies that boost human development and economic competitiveness.
The covid-19 pandemic has significantly impacted economies all over the world, posing as a difficulty for companies all across the globe. The Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in India were one of the most affected. These Enterprises make a substantial contribution to India's economic output.
Despite their significance, these enterprises had faced immense challenges during the pandemic, such as disrupted supply chains, financial needs, loss of customer interest, and administrative problems as well.
This paper, has the intention of studying the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic on the MSMEs of India and is focusing on the Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexities, and Ambiguity (VUCA) challenged encountered by them, the strategies that these businesses put into place to keep the organizations afloat, is also studied.
This paper includes a study spanning various fields, exploring the adaptive mechanisms, and strategies incorporated by MSMEs to manage and navigate through the turbulent business environment, sustaining operations and managing risks.
Furthermore, the thesis throws some light on the role of digital transformation in MSME resilience during the crisis, noting its effectiveness and potential barriers. The study aims to give insights and suggestions to better prepare MSMEs versatility against future disruptions, while also looking at government aid or help during the pandemic.
At last, this thesis adds to the understanding of challenges faced by MSMEs during the Covid-19 pandemic, while trying to offer valuable insights for the future.
In der vorliegenden Masterarbeit wurden verschiedene Ansteuerungsstrategien für den Betrieb von dreiphasigen Active-Neutral-Point-Clamped- (ANPC) Mittelspannungs-Netzumrichtern mit Siliziumkarbid (SiC) Halbleiterschaltelementen untersucht. Durch die Vielzahl an aktiven Schaltelementen können bei der ANPC-Topologie zur Modellierung des gewünschten Ausgangssignals zahlreiche unterschiedliche Ansteuerungsstrategien eingesetzt werden. Je nach gewählter Ansteuerungsstrategie können so unter anderem die Faktoren Schalt- und Durchlassverluste, Wirkungsgrad, Verlustverteilung, Schalter- und Ausgangsschaltfrequenz, der Oberschwingungsanteil des Ausgangssignals, sowie die maximale Spannungsbelastung der Halbleiter beeinflusst werden.
Neben der elektrotechnischen Beschreibung der aktuell eingesetzten Umrichter-Technologien wurden in dieser Arbeit primär aus aktuellen Veröffentlichungen und Dissertationen verschiedene Möglichkeiten für die Ansteuerung von ANPC-Umrichter zusammengetragen und insgesamt sieben Sinus-Pulsweiten-Modulationsstrategien (S-PWM) im Detail untersucht. Hierbei wurde für jede vorgestellte Modulationsstrategie das Grundfunktionsprinzip aufgezeigt und analysiert, sowie die sich daraus ergebenden Vor- und Nachteile herausgearbeitet.
Anschließend wurden alle vorgestellten S-PWM-Strategien in der Schaltungssimulationssoftware PLECS implementiert und diese in verschiedenen Betriebszuständen simuliert. Die Simulation ergab, dass sich bei der ANPC-ALD-Strategie eine bestmögliche Verlustverteilung zwischen den Halbleiterelementen einstellt, bei der ANPC-OOZS-Strategie die geringsten Durchlassverluste entstehen und bei den Strategien ANPC-DF, -12, -R2:1 und -SSLD im Bereich der Nulldurchgänge des Ausgangssignals an den inneren Halbleitern kurzzeitige kritische Überspannungen auftreten. Bei den Strategien ANPC-11-Sync, -ALD und -OOZS treten dagegen keine Überspannungen an den Halbleitern auf.
Ausgehend von diesen Simulationsergebnissen wurden die Strategien ANPC-DF, -ALD und -OOZS für den potentiellen Einsatz in Mittelspannungsumrichtern ausgewählt, auf einem FPGA-Board implementiert und damit eine geeignete Niederspannungstestplattform in Betrieb genommen. Durch praktische Messungen auf dieser Testplattform konnten die Simulationsergebnisse in einem ersten Schritt verifiziert werden. Sowohl das erstellte Simulationsmodell als auch die in Betrieb genommene Testplattform können somit zukünftig für weitere Untersuchungen im Bereich der ANPC-Umrichter-Ansteuerungsstrategien eingesetzt werden.
This study explores the complex dynamics influencing the establishment of secondary
vocational exchange programs, with an emphasis on identifying the barriers and
facilitators in this process. Adopting a qualitative research approach, the study seeks to
capture the rich, nuanced experiences of stakeholders and provide context-specific
insights. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with professionals, administrators,
and officials associated with German and United States Vocational Education. Employing
a two-tiered participant selection strategy, a range of perspectives were captured. The
data were analyzed using an inductive approach to thematic analysis, aiming to identify
underlying patterns and themes. Preliminary findings indicate that funding, policy and
governance challenges, educational structures, administrative elements, corporate
attitudes, and socio-cultural influences play significant roles in the establishment of these
exchange programs. The research also underscores the importance of participant
preparedness, program structure, stakeholder interest and engagement, diversity and
inclusion, and innovative program approaches as vital facilitators. These insights can
influence the development of policies and practices for future secondary vocational
exchange programs, thus contributing meaningfully to the larger conversation
surrounding vocational exchange programs and international educational partnerships.
Traditional networking severely limits the dynamic requirements of newly emerging
use cases like the Internet of Things. For this reason, this thesis is fundamentally
concerned with the proposal of a software-defined networking approach for industrial
IoT networks. We revisit the core concepts, examine related work and subsequently
present an SDN-focused edge architecture for the KOSMoS research project. In this regard, we aim to improve network flexibility, scalability, maintainability and security.
Finally, the developed concept is implemented as an emulated proof of concept in order to assess its feasibility. For our prototype, we present an intent-driven approach that automatically compiles and deploys network configuration policies based on business goals submitted as description templates.
